The Need for Preventative Drain Maintenance

As we gear up for the holidays, it's crucial to recognize the strain our plumbing systems endure during this time. From increased cooking and hosting activities to additional guests using facilities, the risk of drain mishaps skyrockets. This is why preventative drain maintenance is not just a luxury but a necessity to avoid unwelcome surprises.

Common Holiday Drain Culprits

During holiday feasts, it's easy for grease and food scraps to find their way down the kitchen sink. Over time, this can lead to stubborn clogs that may ruin your holiday cheer. With more guests in the house, your bathrooms are likely to experience heavier usage. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate quickly, causing drainage problems. The use of paper towels, napkins, and other disposable items tends to increase during the holidays. Flushing these down the toilet can contribute to blockages, leading to plumbing emergencies.

Instead of pouring grease down the drain, let it cool and solidify in a container before discarding it in the trash. Install sink strainers to catch food particles and prevent them from going down the drain. Discourage guests from flushing excessive paper products, and provide a designated waste bin for disposal. Share the importance of mindful water usage and proper disposal practices with your holiday guests to prevent inadvertent plumbing issues.
